Changle Palace, Xuande Palace.

As the residence of Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, and his biological mother, Mrs. Qi, the Xuande Hall has been the focus of the entire Changle Palace palace complex since the day it was built.

In his later years, not to mention the New Year's holidays, it was an ordinary day, and all kinds of materials sent from Shaofu often filled up the only few small warehouses in the Xuanshu Palace.

The gold, silver, jade ornaments, and rare treasures paid tribute by the vassal states in the eastern part of the country, not to mention - basically as soon as the Shaofu side took over, they were sent to the Xuande Hall by Liu Bang, the son of heaven.

In the days when Liu Bang was rarely able to lead troops outside and was able to rest in Chang'an, Liu Bang's Yellow House Zuoxu basically stayed outside the Xuande Palace.

In addition to Liu Bang, who has to go to Xinfeng every five days to meet the emperor Liu Xuan, Liu Bang himself basically lives in the Xuande Palace.

If it weren't for the Weiyang Palace across Zhangtai Street, where the queen Lu Pheasant and the prince Liu Ying still lived, and the concubines and princes living in the palace group of Changle Palace, I am afraid that they would have already given birth to the illusion that 'Mrs. Qi is the queen, Liu Ruyi is the prince, and the Xuande Hall is the queen's residence'.

And today, when Liu Bang once again appeared in the Xuande Hall where Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi's mother and son lived on the day of the return of the class teacher, the Xuande Hall was no longer as lively as it used to be·······

·

Night is quietly falling, and the main hall of the Xuande Hall is already illuminated by one palace lamp after another, like bright day.

More than a dozen palace maids with simple clothes and delicate eyebrows are twisting their graceful bodies with the elegant sound of sesheng and chimes.

Liu Bang, the son of heaven, sat on the top with an easy-going expression, and patted his palms on his knees with the melody, his expression was relaxed and comfortable.

As the owner of this Xuanshu Palace, Mrs. Qi knelt beside Liu Bang, holding chopsticks a little helplessly, and sent pieces of cut cooked meat to Liu Bang's mouth, with a look that could not be concealed, as well as some obvious deliberate flattery.

On the banquet in front of Liu Bang on the left, Liu Ruyi, the nine-year-old king of Zhao, lowered his head with a stern expression, and couldn't care about appreciating the dancing of the palace maids as easily and comfortably as Liu Bang.

It was in such a strange and dull atmosphere that was visible to the naked eye, and the dancing posture of the palace maids finally ended with Liu Bang's gently raised hand.

The sound of chimes, serens and other musical instruments also slowly fell silent with the receding figures of the palace maids.

Seeing that the dancing girls in the hall were dismissed by Liu Bang, Liu Ruyi's already grim expression only tightened!

On Liu Bang's side, Mrs. Qi, who had been feeding Liu Bang non-stop, finally took a deep breath with apprehension······

"Your Majesty······"

"Huh?"

A low call made Liu Bang turn his head sideways, and he only looked at Mrs. Qi's gaze, which was still leisurely.

I couldn't tell Liu Bang's joy and anger, and Mrs. Qi didn't know how to speak for a while.

was stunned for a moment, and when Liu Bang lowered his head again with an easy-going face, and grabbed a piece of roasted meat from the table without caring about the image, Mrs. Qi finally gritted her teeth, naturally added the meat in Liu Bang's hand, and gently dipped it in the sauce dish on the side, and then gently sent it to Liu Bang's mouth.

Taking advantage of Liu Bang's chewing skills, Mrs. Qi finally lowered her head with anxiety on her face, and asked Liu Bang softly in an extremely aggrieved and unintentional tone.

"Today, when the concubine hears the palace, it seems that there are rumors and ·······"

"What he said is actually a matter of society?"

pretending to hesitate to say this, he saw that Mrs. Qi looked lonely, and raised her head faintly with some apprehension, and smiled miserably at Liu Bang.

"Your Majesty, do you think that the concubine should be scolded by such people who speak wildly and talk about the society in vain?"

Hearing her mother's question, Liu Ruyi also turned her head sideways without a trace, and secretly looked at Liu Bang's expression from the corner of her eye.

On Mrs. Qi's side, Liu Bang, who heard this question, subconsciously stopped chewing.

seemed to be stunned for a moment, and finally saw Liu Bang smile, swallowed the unfinished chewed hot meat in his mouth, picked up the silk cloth in his hand, and wiped the sauce at the corner of his mouth casually.

"Hmm······"

"I know about it."

was full of casual words, and saw Liu Bang let out a long breath comfortably, and he was about to turn his upper body and lie down on his side on the soft couch.

"In today's court discussion, I have already made it clear: After I am a hundred years old, the prince will inherit the society."

"Chen Xian's defeat is imminent, and Han Xin and Peng Yue have been beheaded; Huainan Wang Yingbu, when also rebelled not far away. ”

"If Yingbu raises troops, I want to make the prince go to him on my behalf to pacify Huainan."

"I have also discussed this matter with the queen, and the queen has also agreed······"

As if he was gossiping, his tone was full of lightheartedness, and he saw Liu Bang looking at Mrs. Qi with a light smile.

"If the things in the palace are discussed, then this is the matter, and Qi Ji doesn't have to worry about it."

"If it's something else······"

Meaning to drag a long note, Liu Bang said lightly, lay down on the soft couch, and looked at the beam on the roof of the hall with an indifferent face.

"Xuande Hall is the place where I gave Qi Ji and King Zhao."

"If the maidservants and temple people in the palace don't say anything, Qi Ji can deal with it according to the situation·······"

Speaking in a gentle tone, Liu Bang slowly closed his eyes, although it seemed to be a fake sleep, Liu Bang's hand was on his abdomen without a trace, and he kept rubbing his sore stomach.

If it weren't for Mrs. Qi's heavy heart, she would inevitably find that as Liu Bang's rubbing became stronger and stronger, Liu Bang's forehead all over the ravines was already tightly wrinkled·······

Listening to Liu Bang's natural expression and unabashedly saying this, the anxiety on Mrs. Qi's face was only replaced by a touch of horror and shock!

looked at his son Liu Ruyi with a stunned expression, and after a while, Mrs. Qi's complexion changed without warning to a pair of extremely aggrieved.

On the soft couch, Liu Bang rubbed his abdominal organs with a distorted expression for a while, but he finally failed to relieve the stomach pain.

Just as Liu Bang's brows were tightly knit and there was a faint hint of inexplicable annoyance, a low sobbing sound quietly came from Liu Bang's ears.

"Shhh······ Hiss ······"

Listening to this familiar cry, Liu Bang's already irritable mood couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.

But when Liu Bang straightened up with an unhappy face and saw Mrs. Qi's side face, the anger that appeared for only a moment quietly drifted away in Liu Bang's heart·······

With a stiff face, he looked at Mrs. Qi and wiped her tears for a while, then turned her head sideways, looked not far away, still lowered her head deeply, and hated to pierce her young son Liu Ruyi with her chin in her chest, Liu Bang finally sat up straight, and immediately let out a long lament.

"Alas·······"

"Madame, why do you have to do that?"

"Isn't this the reason why Mrs. made friends with the Tian family back then?"

As soon as she heard Liu Bang's words, Mrs. Qi's low and mournful cry suddenly had a tendency to cry.

Seeing Mrs. Qi's shoulders trembling, she finally suppressed her crying for a while, and then looked sideways at Liu Bang with grievances.

"The concubine is not as good as the queen, the mother is not rich, and she is young; If the concubine doesn't make more external efforts for wishful thinking, how can she deal with the queen's difficulties everywhere in the future? ”

"The concubine is just wishful, and she befriended a businessman in the Tian family!"

"It's the queen, in order to protect the prince's position, it can be said that the party is all over the government and the opposition!"

Unsuppressed, the grievances in her heart were vented, and Mrs. Qi's low and mournful emotions became even more excited in an instant.

"The queen's henchmen are all over the place, even if Your Majesty is afraid of three points, Your Majesty will not turn a blind eye?"

"It's a concubine, who only befriends the Tian family, which makes the queen hold a grudge; Your Majesty does not pity the weak concubine, and sits back and watches the queen grounded my mother and son in the deep palace! ”

"Today, now I want to destroy the ······· of the past"

Halfway through the words, Mrs. Qi couldn't hold back the grief in her heart anymore, and cried loudly in front of her son Liu Ruyi and husband Liu Bang.

is only different from the past: no matter how sad and excited she is, Mrs. Qi's weaker fist never dared to smash Liu Bang's chest again·······

Seeing Mrs. Qi crying in front of her son, Liu Bang suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he frowned lightly at Liu Ruyi.

After Liu Ruyi hurriedly retreated, Liu Bang stood up from the soft couch with a frown, and let out a long sigh full of bitterness.

"Madame is open for wishful thinking, and there is indeed nothing wrong with it."

"In previous years, I didn't turn a blind eye to such things?"

asked a little irritably, and Liu Bang couldn't help but have a look of hatred on his face.

"When the Chen Feng rebellion broke out last year, I even planned the layout, with Zhou Chang as Zhao Xiang; Moreover, Zhao Yao is the imperial doctor, thinking that Ruyi will help in the future! ”

"Fan Xu, Guan Ying, and even Xiahou Ying and other meritorious marquis, even because of 'pro-Lu', they have been exempted from official leisure!"

"What's more, when I set out on the expedition, I also made it difficult for the prince with the idea of 'supervising the country to build water canals', trying to make his mistakes and create a good opportunity for easy storage!"

"All these things, isn't it wishful thinking?"

Full of resentment, Liu Bang wanted to say more, but when he saw Mrs. Qi's crying becoming more and more urgent, he couldn't help but sigh indifferently.

"Alas~"

"I am willing to stand up for easy storage, which can not be said to be exhaustive; Yu the queen and the crown prince are completely cold·······"

"When I left Beijing and stayed in Xiao He, how did Mrs. Qi respond to my painstaking efforts?"

"What are you doing for me, prince?"

"Queen, what are you saying and doing?"

Speaking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, and looked at Mrs. Qi's gaze, and finally brought a clear conscience.

"I left Beijing, and my wife only thought about it, and wanted to spoil the prince!"

"Even so, there is no way to do so; Mrs. Ran shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't conspire with the Tian family because of the evil prince, and disrupt the great politics of the society! ”

"Today, the lady can be a store, and conspire with the merchants to advocate the price of grain; How can I rest assured that my wife will not do anything for him tomorrow and completely defeat the society of my Han family?! ”

With a slightly angry shout, Liu Bang's face sank slightly, and his tone returned to normal a little.

"But the crown prince, for the responsibility of supervising the country, can be cautious in words and deeds everywhere, without the slightest mistake."

"With such a good opportunity to seize power, the prince has never been moved by it, but Xiao He is the main thing."

"Mrs. Zhi conspired with the Tian clan to raise the price of grain in Guanzhong, and the prince was not afraid of my reproach, and planned to make a policy for the official camp of the Shaofu, and went to worship Tian He!"

"After the crown prince was assassinated in Changling, the queen was furious and searched the Tian family's mansion, and Fang Zhi Madame had already had close contacts with the Tian family."

"But even so, the queen and the prince have taken advantage of this, and Mrs. Yu and Ruyi are not good?!"

A serious expression asked, and seeing that Mrs. Qi finally stopped crying, Liu Bang only shook his head with sorrow.

"Never ·······"

"The crown prince, he has not been imprisoned because of this, and he has been condemned to Ruyi."

"The queen was in danger of losing her son, and she never took the opportunity to slander her wife because of the Tian family."

"Madame, do you know, why?"

Hearing Liu Bang's question, Mrs. Qi finally calmed down from her wailing, but she failed to give her own answer to Liu Bang's question.

I saw Liu Bang standing up full of melancholy, and let out a long sigh.

"Because the queen and the prince all know: this, the ugly thing ·······"

"This, this is the ugly ······· of my Liu family"

"In order to protect the face of the Liu family and the prestige of my Han Zuo, the queen and the prince miss this opportunity, and they are unwilling to take this opportunity to attack the lady and the ······· Ruyi"

"Madame, can you know: knowing that Ruyi is very involved with the Tian family, and even involved in the suspicion of assassinating the prince, how does the prince react?"

"——The prince rebelled against the marquis, Yu Zhen in person, pleaded for mercy and beautiful words on behalf of Ruyi, and ·······"

"The queen has never blamed Ruyi and Madame for this, but only grounded Madame and Ruyi in the palace, and waited for me to be ·······"

As he spoke, Liu Bang's expression on his face was completely occupied by an inexplicable loneliness.

"What if I was a lady?"

"Madam, will you be grounded in the deep palace of the queen and the crown prince in order to wait for my return?"

"Ruyi can also miss his brother's relatives, and quickly go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not afraid of Xiao He's might, and burn all the evidence of his brother's crime?"

"You can bribe my trusted advisors to say good things to my face?!!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bang finally sighed again and shook his head gloomily.

"If the prince is established, he will stay for a hundred years, even if he is not happy with his wife and wishes, he should be able to ensure that he is as good as he wishes."

"But if she gets her wish, Madame may forgive the queen from dying?"

"Ruyi, can you protect the prince, and not regard your father and brother as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh?"

Finally, after throwing down a few questions, Liu Bang turned around with a lonely expression, looked out of the hall with his handrail, and sighed uncontrollably.

As for Liu Bang's last few questions, even if Mrs. Qi wanted to open her mouth again, she couldn't spit out even a single word from her mouth·······

The two of them sat and stood, sighed and sighed, bowed their heads and sobbed, and the huge Xuande Hall only fell into a long silence.

I don't know how long it took for Liu Bang's cold voice to shatter the long silence.

"When the prince goes on the expedition, I want to go to Ganquan and recuperate for a while."

Hearing Liu Bang's sudden low murmur, Mrs. Qi only hurriedly raised her head!

"The concubine will go with Your Majesty!"

But when Liu Bang heard this, he only shook his head with a wry smile, turned around, slowly returned to the soft couch, and sat down again.

"In the past, I fought in the Kanto region, but for many years, I have never seen the dance of my wife again?"

"Why don't you dance again today, ma'am, and think I'm looking at it again?"

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Mrs. Qi was only stunned.

After a while, Mrs. Qi, who finally understood what she had lost, finally nodded at Liu Bang with tears in her eyes, and immediately came to the center of the hall under Liu Bang's gaze.

When Mrs. Qi choked back tears and began to dance in the Xuande Palace, Liu Bang, who was sitting at the top, also began to pick up chopsticks with a gloomy face and knocked on the edge of the rice bowl in front of her.

Then, there was a melodious and mournful Chu dialect, which resounded in the sky above the Xuande Palace·······

"Flying high!"

"A Thousand Miles in One Fell !! One Stone"

"Yu Xi has arrived~"

"Across the ·······"

"Across the World~"

"What can I do?"

"Although there is a ······· payment"

"Shang An's ·······"

"Although there is a !! of payment"

"Shang An, what you do ?!!!!!"

“·············”
